Description

Book Synopsis

Radio-Frequency Heating in Food Processing: Principles and Applications covers the fundamentals of radio-frequency (RF) heating and the use of RF-heating technologies in modern food processing, preservation, and related industries. Focusing on industrial and lab-scale applications where RF heating has been employed successfully or reported to have potential benefits over conventional heating options, this state-of-the-art reference:

  • Explains the similarities, differences, advantages, and limitations of RF and microwave heating as applied to agricultural products
  • Describes fiber-optics temperature sensors and their utility in monitoring temperature during RF and microwave heating
  • Discusses the dielectric and thermo-physical properties of agricultural products amenable to RF and microwave heating, presenting measurement techniques, mathematical concepts, and computer simulation models
  • Provides practical perspectives on industrial RF
